IMPROVEMENT IN SAW-SETS.

'Ihe Schedule referred to n these Letters Patent and making parfof thesame l in the county oi' Knox, and State of Indiana, havey invented anew and improved Saw-Set; and I do here-4 by declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enableothers skilled in the art tomake and use the saine, reference being hadto the aceompzmyingdrawings, forming part of this specification. i

The-.nature of nl v invention isL to obtain a saw-set of simpleconstruction, which may be adapted for setting the teeth of' eitherlarge or small saws, and

lapable of being readily operated.

`Saw-sets have been made, previous tomyinven? tion, where the short armofthe lever operates simultaneously with 4the levers that operate thedies. ln my invention, the short-arm 'levers operate independentlyot'the others, thus making any angle on the teeth thatnecessityrequires, or that-may be desirable, separate and independentofthe levers that operate the dies.

To enable those skilled in"the art to fully understand and construct myinvention, I will proceed to describe it, viz:

A B represent two levers or arms, havingtat their v onterends, dies a b,the die b pivoted to the shortarm lever C, and workinfr in the recessedor slotted rlhe slot j' is` made somewhat larger than the dieb, fogiveit'i'ree and easy movement. i

' B :is the lever-arm ofthe die` b, and has, at one/end,

ears-'o1'projections, gig, whieh support and hold the short-arm lever1).

apart, after gripping the saw, said spring being riveted or fastened inany desired manner to either arms.

-The lever or arm B has, at one end, ears or projec- `tions g g, whichform a clamp for the spring i.

h h are'chafn-Iiuks, so arranged, in connection with levers C and I), asto operate them independently of ,levers A and l. A

rI he outer 'end of lever C is curved in hook-form, as shown at l, saidhook extending beyond and over the dies a b.

On the short-arm lever (l, are projections ce, which receive the die b,operated by lever or long arm 13.

K is a thumb-screw or stop, to regulate and adjust the| lever C,operated by lever D, to the thickness of' the saw. l

This saw-set is very simple in construction, and can be used `for largeand small saws, and will produce an even set, and at any angle desired.

Having thus fully described the ope ation and con- 2. The lever-bars orhandles A B, said lever B prof vided with ears g g, in combination withthe independent levers C I), when arranged to operate as and for thepurppse described.

3. The springs ij, when arranged in combination with levers A 'B C D, tooperate said levers independentiof eachother, as and for the purposesetforth.
